Almost all the food we eat comes from the commercial food system. But, where we live and work, the people around us, and what resources we have access to also influence what we eat, from early years to older age.

Consequently, policies and interventions to improve the health of our diets will require the various actions of national and local governments, food producers and retailers, the media and other sectors.

The Programmes in Dietary Public Health at CEDAR examine the behaviours, environments, policies and practices behind our diets, with a view to supporting effective interventions in this complex area.
